List of Turntable Manufacturers

Shouldn't Hanpin be on the list? http://www.hanpin.com.tw/4_Products_02.html

Their decks are the basis for most of those sold by DJ suppliers such as Akiyama DJ (www.akiyamadj.com), American Audio, Audio Technica, Koolsounds (www.koolsounds.com), Numark, Omnitronic (http://eshop.steinigke.de/en/Audio/Players-Steinigke/Turntables-with-belt-drive/), Reloop (www.reloop.com/products/turntables), Stanton, and Synq (http://en.synq-audio.com/products/10800/Turntables). From the looks of their current decks, Onkyo and Pioneer may well be customers too. Omnitronic are a German company who actually produce a wider range of decks than Audio Technica, who seem to be a source of inspiration to them although all their decks are Hanpin too. I note that some on my list haven't made your list so I've included addresses for those.

Your list is a marvellous resource and I'm glad I found it (thanks Google!).

All the best,
Brian.

Strangely I was looking for this just before I joined this forum. The TDK deck has been discontinued and they no longer seem to make them. If you search on the TDK site you can find it listed but the link it provides is dead.
 
As a PS to my post about Hanpin, both Citronic and Kam used Hanpin decks as the basis for their own customised models too but they have now been discontinued. I presume this is the Citronic referred to in the BK Electronics entry on the list. Given the initials, I'm chastened to say that this link is dead.
 
Hello Brian and welcome to the WBF.

Please allow me some time to address your posts as I'm in the middle of a cross-country move and don't have much time at the moment.
